Kensington Monaghan Farms Wild goaltender Chad Arsenault continued to put up sparking numbers at the 2019 Chronicle Herald East Coast Ice Jam hockey tournament on Saturday night.
Arsenault registered a shutout in backstopping the Wild to a 4-0 victory over the Cole Harbour WolfPack in a quarter-final game at the BMO Centre in Bedford, N.S.

The championship game is at 2 p.m., and is scheduled to be televised on Eastlink.
The Wild, Flyers and Vitos all play in the New Brunswick/P.E.I. Major Midget Hockey League. Cole Harbour entered the Ice Jam tournament with 25 wins and two shootout losses in their last 27 league games.
